Program Operations Manual System (POMS)

The purpose of the FS-SSA/APP and FS-Referred blocks is to indicate if we completed a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) application, formerly called food stamps (FS), or if we referred a claimant to the local SNAP office. We use this information to bill the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) for the number of SNAP applications we complete.
